We approach Mackenzie’s LA-groupoids from a supergeometric point of view by introducing Q-groupoids. A Q-groupoid is a groupoid object in the category of Q-manifolds, and there is a faithful functor from the category of LA-groupoids to the category of Q-groupoids. Using this approach, we associate to every LA-groupoid a double complex whose cohomology simultaneously generalizes Lie groupoid coh...

Tate cohomology was originally defined over finite groups. More recently, Avramov and Martsinkovsky showed how to extend the definition so that it now works well over Gorenstein rings. This paper improves the theory further by giving a new definition that works over more general rings, specifically, those with a dualizing complex. The new definition of Tate cohomology retains the desirable prop...

We explicitly construct the adjoint operator of coboundary operator and obtain the Hodge decomposition theorem and the Poincaré duality for the Lie algebra cohomology of the infinite-dimensional gauge transformation group. We show that the adjoint of the coboundary operator can be identified with the BRST adjoint generator Q for the Lie algebra cohomology induced by BRST generator Q. We also po...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of BiHom-Lie conformal superalgebras. We develop its representation theory and define cohomology group with coefficients in a module. Finally, derivations superalgebras study some their properties.

We shall in fact prove it with C = 2. In the same situation, Aschbacher and Guralnick proved in Theorem A of [1] that \H\G, V)\<\V\. Guralnick has recently improved this bound to \H(G, V)\^\V\l, which is the best possible. At the present time, a proof of the intermediate result \H(G, V)\ «= |V|S is available in preprint form [13]. By using this result, it should be possible with a little extra ...
